Connect the projector to Windows 7 - this is how you proceed

Depending on the existing projector and computer connections, you can connect the projector to your PC via USB, VGA, DVI or HDMI interface.

1. Connect your projector to your computer using the associated cable.
2. If you press the [Windows] + [P] keys at the same time, four different options will be displayed (see image).
3. Select "Computer only" or "Projector only" so that the image is only displayed on one device. Alternatively, you can also "Duplicate" or "Extend" the image.
4. If the image is not displayed optimally or not at all, you should adjust the resolution. To do this, open the Control Panel and select the "Screen resolution" under "Appearance and Personalization"> "Display".
5. If you want to disconnect the two devices again, press [Windows] + [P] again or simply pull the cable.
